I would agree, but I’m not a biologist.  |

That swimmer literally has xy chromosomes. So you are correct. She is a dude.

I don't give a shizzle. Already had about 6 beers  I proudly do not identify as Republican. BUT, the whole trans thing is disturbing to me, and this case is ridiculous. He/she ought to be ashamed. |

This whole Addidas trans commercial agenda ticks me off. Then I wonder, have they have secretly teamed up with Buick and their agenda to increase viewership of female athletics? I wonder if they conspired and determined that the only way to increase viewership for female sports is to have males competing in them.  Seriously, though, I don't understand how anyone can think that this is a good idea. |

When the resident liberal and the board's conservative majority are in agreement, something is bad wrong.  |

I've wondered when a solid men's intramural team at, say, Arkansas State is going to decide they're temporarily not dudes and run the table in women's hoops.

I was discussing this topic with a friend lately. He has a young son who is involved in gymnastics and is very talented. This guy takes his son to national meets around the country. He told me that an "average" male gymnast can do so much more complicated feats than Simone Biles (arguably the most talented female gymnast ever, who is capable of skills that no other female gymnasts can do - so much so that the Olympic committee refused to judge those skills at the last Olympics). He emphasized that he wasn't talking about elite level male gynnasts, just average.
I simply cannot understand how anyone can think that this is acceptable.

First off, I could not care less how someone identifies, none of my business. BUT, show some respect for the integrity of competition. How can anyone have any pride in their accomplishment as a schoolyard bully beating up the little kids. It is incredibly disrespectful to the women who have spent countless hours over many years to develop their bodies and technique to be able to compete in their sport, only to face a genetic difference in muscular development that cannot be overcome. So if this female identifier takes any pride in their success, they show no respect for the sport, and no respect for their "chosen" sex.

I am really surprised we have not seen a trans ringer yet in women's NCAA hoops. Maybe they're already are in the sport but they have yet to make a big splash, i dunno. |

I agree completely. You worded that very well. |

There aren't a lot of women hanging around the board these days, so I will go ahead and share a meme I saw It had a pic of the U Penn swimmer and stated that the "best women's swimmer is a man"/"men are even better at being women" just in humor! please do not slap me!  |

Never have liked Griner, but hope she does get out of Russia before too much longer  |
